Gift Ideas for the Equestrian in your Life
As Christmas nears, I've compiled some gift ideas for the Equestrian in your life, and some advice to help you get through the holidays with them.
As far as tack and those types of "fitted" items goes, sizing can be a challenge. So I recommend gift cards. If you'd like to be more thoughtful than A VISA money card, cash, or check, try a gift card for their favorite feed store, tack store, or Equestrian clothing line. (Examples may include: Tractor Supply, Atwoods, Dover, Ovation, StatelineTack, Kerrits, etc.)
If you're feeling brave, go ahead and buy the fitted items. Good gift ideas can be: protective gear, such as vests and helmets, safety stirrups, etc. For items that may not fit, make sure there's a good returns/exchange policy in place. SmartPak is a good site for animal lovers as they sell many top of the line items an Equestrian would love.
Personalized items. Magic's Customized Tack offers beautiful custom headsets and other items if you want something more personal and thoughtful.
Easy Canvas Prints offers canvas prints of your photographs. This can turn your favorite shots into art/wall hanging for your home. They have collage options as well.
Check out Etsy! Etsy offers both personalized, and unique equestrian themed gifts. This can include jewelry, stirrups, clothes, art, etc.
And of course, most equestrians like other things besides horses (at least a little bit). Don't just buy them the first horse related thing you see. Those hand towels at Target with the mustangs running along the edge won't make the most memorable gift.
And lastly, helpful advice, most equestrians live busy lives. Take that into account. Gestures can be just as appreciated as gifts. Deep clean the trailer. Buy a leather cleaning kit for the new saddle. Take the truck in for it routine maintenance. Help make more riding time by taking on a task that may be getting in the way. Pick out a Christmas tree and put it up together. The little things count too.
Happy shopping!!
